You heard me! On the 4th of August its going to be National Watermelon day! Well.. For the UK only [url]http://www.watermelonday.co.uk/index.html[/url] Heres some of the main types of watermelon! Picnic Jubilee (Oblong, 20-45 lbs. Large sized brown seeds) Crimson Sweet (Round to oblong 16-35 lbs. Medium sized brown seeds) Allsweet (Oblong 18-30 lbs. Small brown or black seeds) Mini-Watermelon Red Flesh (Round, 1-7 lbs. Most Seedless) Yellow Flesh (Round, 1-7 lbs. Most Seedless) Ice Box Ice Box (Round, 5-15 lbs. Dark seeds) Seedless Triploid Hybrid (Round to oblong 10-20 lbs. Seedless) Yellow Flesh Seeded (Round, 10-30 lbs. Black seeds) Seedless (Round, 10-30 lbs.) [quote=http://www.holidayinsights.com/other/watermelon.htm] This big fruit deserves it's own big day. And, so we give pause to celebrate watermelons on National Watermelon Day. Sweet and tasty, watermelons are one of summer's favorite fruit. It's standard fare at picnics. While watermelon is over 90% water, it sure tastes good. And, what picnic would be complete without a seed spitting contest? Our research was unable to establish this day as a true national day (which requires an act of congress). [b]We also have not uncovered the origin of this day[/b]. we suspect it originated by an agricultural organization, or perhaps a wild and crazy watermelon fan. Please don't limit your consumption of watermelon to just this month. Stores carry watermelon twelve months of the year [/quote] Links: How to grow a watermelon: [url]http://www.gardenersnet.com/vegetable/watermel.htm[/url] Some watermelon facts: [url]http://www.thevirtualvine.com/watermelons.html[/url] And the national watermelon promotion board [url]http://www.watermelon.org/index.asp?a=dsp&htype=kids&pid=15[/url] So share with us what you plan on doing on this fine British day! Maybe if the watermelon God is pleased, we will be granted with good weather! Oh and you have a chance to win a 'Trip of a lifetime'!

I like honeydew more. But still, watermelon sculptures are nice.
